BTW, I have never heard that malaria was transmissible between humans and would be interested to know more.
Sorry for the thread drift...My understanding as public health nurse is the parasite is transmissible via mosquito, via blood transfusion, or via mother>fetus.
I note that blood transfusion is specified, rather than simple exposure to the blood or other bodily fluids more typical of the transmission of hepatitis, HIV, etc.
